2567 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «لَمَّا نَزَلَ عُذْرِي قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ وَتَلَا الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ أَمَرَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ وَامْرَأَةٍ فَضُرِبُوا حَدَّهُمْ»

Commentary

On return from the expedition of Banu Mustaliq, which is also known as the Muraisi' expedition, some hypocrites made an allegation of adultery against 'Aishah, the Mother of the Believers. According to the research of Maulana Safiur-Rahmān Mubārākpuri, this incident happened on the 5th of Sha'bân 5 AH. (Ar-Rahiqul-Makhtum) In this connection legal punishment was passed against some true Muslims. This punishment was terminated after the Revelation and they were pardoned. The hypocrites who made the allegation against 'Aîshah ﷺ were not punished due to lack of evidence against them, but they will meet their punishment in the Hereafter. b. The two males and one female who were given the legal punishment were Hassân bin Thâbit, Mistah bin Uthâthah, and Hammah bint Jahsh. c. The accusation of adultery against an innocent person is a great crime and its punishment is eighty lashes.
